Dominic Solanke denies West Ham as Bournemouth snatch draw
Dominic Solanke’s late equaliser denied West Ham an opening-day win as Bournemouth hit back for a 1-1 draw. Jarrod Bowen had fired the Hammers into the lead early in the second half with a spectacular curler from the edge of the box. But Bournemouth, playing under new boss Andoni Iraola for the first time, were good value for the point they earned when Solanke rounded Alphonse Areola with eight minutes remaining. It has been a troubled summer for West Ham following their Europa Conference League success last season with the departure of Declan Rice, Manchester City’s attempt to lure Lucas Paqueta away and a lack of new signings coming through the doors at the London Stadium. They arrived on the south coast with essentially last season’s team, minus Rice, and not much in the way of optimism. Yet they almost went ahead early on when Said Benrahma fed Tomas Soucek, whose effort bounced back off the inside of the far post and into the grateful arms of Bournemouth keeper Neto. The Cherries were relieved again when Michail Antonio’s flick from a corner was cleared from underneath the crossbar by Philip Billing. But Bournemouth had their chances too as the first half wore on, with Solanke slipping in David Brooks who fired just wide. Solanke then chased a long ball over the top only to be denied by the long leg of Hammers defender Kurt Zouma, before Areola beat away another Brooks drive. The second half almost began with a bang for Bournemouth with Brooks letting fly on the volley from 20 yards, forcing Areola into an acrobatic save. But it was the Hammers who broke the deadlock moments later after Pablo Fornals, trying to fill a Rice-shaped hole in the West Ham midfield, won possession 30 yards out. Bowen’s last kick of the previous campaign was the late goal which secured the Europa Conference League trophy against Fiorentina 66 days ago. This time he collected the ball off Soucek 20 yards out, cut onto his left foot and buried a superb, curling effort beyond the dive of Neto. Bournemouth, playing their new brand of easy-on-the-eye, expansive football, tried to hit back and Areola saved from Solanke before Joe Rothwell’s shot clipped the crossbar. Their dominance told in the 82nd minute when Antoine Semenyo’s wayward shot fell at the feet of Solanke, who showed tremendous composure to slip round Areola and tap into an empty net.

Kylie Jenner sparks anger after restaurant staff claim she left a $20 tip for a $500 meal
Celebrity encounters are always interesting to hear. While they’re not completely revealing (what if someone’s having an ‘off’ day or just going through a hard time?) they can often shed light on what a very famous person is really like behind the scenes. Whether they’re kind to ‘normal’ people, whether they’re respectful to their entourage if they’re a bad tipper… And it’s the latter accusation that’s just been levelled at cosmetics tycoon and reality TV star Kylie Jenner. In a video shared in July 2020 former hostess Julia Carol Ann decided to spill the beans about the celebrities she’d met while working in “fancy Manhattan restaurant”. In a TikTok rating celebrities including Hailey Bieber and the Hadid sisters, Julia highlighted a not-so-positive experience with the youngest Jenner sibling. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter Turns out, for a very rich person, Kylie Jenner is apparently extremely stingy. “She was fine, but she tipped $20 on a $500 dinner bill,” Julia alleged. Do with that information what you will”. As a result, she rated Kylie “2/10” as a customer. Diners in America are encouraged to leave tips ranging from 15 to 20 per cent. Which would have been about $100 on Kylie’s cheque. Instead, her tip was reportedly only 4 per cent of the total. RELATED: Kendall Jenner posts completely butt naked photo on Instagram after reported break-up She’s currently being dragged for the alleged lack of generosity. This is a woman allegedly worth $900m, after all... Also faring badly in her ratings was Hailey Bieber who scored a “3.5/10” for not being “nice” during several interactions Julia had with her. The Hadid sisters, however, were “super polite and friendly with staff”, gaining them full marks. In part two of her TikTok tea-spilling, Julia also scored Kylie’s sister, Kendall Jenner, poorly. She got a “4/10” for being “pretty cold towards staff” and having “someone speak for her”. Beyoncé however got a “1000000/10” for being extremely polite. Manners cost nothing, folks!
